Benefit analysis for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration high-performance computing system for research applications final report

"The economic analysis conducted here indicates that the potential societal benefits from the purchase of a new NHRA supercomputer are great. The estimated present value of benefits to the household sector for improvements in ordinary day-to-day (i.e., not including severe weather) weather forecasts alone are estimated at $69 million. A sensitivity analysis of the assumptions underlying this derivation indicates a range of values to the household sector of between $34 million and $232 million." prepared for Joan M.
